HOTEL REVIEW: Oriental Residence Bangkok

In prime
location in Bangkok, Thailand is one of the most elegant and upscale hotels I
have ever stepped into; Oriental Residence Bangkok. With a clean, white colored and classy theme throughout
the hotel, it’s safe to say this hotel fits my brand to the T.

After two
fabulous nights at W Bangkok, it was a nice change of scenery to come to
Oriental Residence – not to mention, much needed room space.

Oriental Residence Bangkok offers airy suites featuring rooms with kitchens, living
areas and marble bathrooms. So while it was fine sharing a standard room with 2
others, a bigger suite was refreshing.

MY EXPERIENCE

As I walked
into the Oriental Residence, it was everything as I’d pictured – white, clean
ambiance with pretty chandeliers – it was the exact opposite from our first hotel. Everyone greeted us, too and were very friendly. Like W Bangkok,
the check-in process was extremely quick and easy. Quickly right after, we were
escorted to our desired room and were introduced to our new home for the next
couple of days.

Room:

We stayed in
their One Bedroom Suite Cornerwhere we got the best of both worlds – a panoramic
city and park view. The suite was a good size for 3 people, as the room
featured one king sized bed in one room and a extra cot in the living room. The room also featured a full kitchen, work desk and living
and dining room areas. Two of the things I was happy about was the bathroom;
it was a good size and was equipped with two vanity mirrors, not to
mention, the room had many mirrors in general as well as great lighting. Great
for any fashion Queen. :)

Hotel Dining and Cocktails:

Café Claire

The hotel
offers guests a classic American and Dutch themed café downstairs on the first
floor called Café Claire. The café is opened for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

During our
stay, we had the opportunity to have Afternoon Tea and enjoy some early dinner right
after.

I absolutely
adored the Afternoon Tea; not only was it delightful but the presentation was
beautifully made. It honestly felt like I was in Paris enjoying some tea! See
below:

For dinner we ordered escargot (which was so good!!), snow fish (was my first time, and loved it!), salmon and lastly shared some delicious fondue.

We also
enjoyed breakfast every morning here; which offered an array of delicious
cuisine.

Oriental Bar

Located on
the 2nd floor is this elegant and cozy bar area. Whether you are
grabbing some refreshing drinks during happy hour or enjoying a cup of coffee;
this little spot will allow you to relax and unwind while appreciating the
luxurious ambience.

The Play Deck

You can
unwind, relax and enjoy some cocktails and food poolside. They had some great
happy hour deals from 5-7 PM.

Savelberg Thailand

If you walk
outside, just across from the hotel lies a fine dining restaurant featuring
modern French cuisine with hints of Dutch inspiration.

Hotel Amenities:

Swimming Pool

One of the
things I was super excited for was the pool area. The pool features an open-air
swimming pool with great city views, cute egg-nest looking chairs and relaxing cabanas. Though we
didn’t have much time to enjoy it – I had the opportunity to get some fun
Instagram-worthy shots!

Gym

Oriental
Residence Bangkok also offers guests with a standard gym; filled with
treadmills and free weights.

If you are looking for something more
elegant, sophisticated and posh; Oriental Residence Bangkok is a hotel you
should definitely check out. From the spacious rooms, to the accommodating
staff and prime location – I had a delightful stay.
